Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 1, 1906.

Application filed July 6, 1905. Serial No. 268,347.

To all whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, Josnrn E. KENERsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lynn, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Broom-Holders and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This iIlYOIltlOll relates to devices for sup porting brooms and other similar articles; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of the broom-support. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-section taken on line a; :1: in Fig. 1.

A is a bar of thin sheet metal which is channel-shaped in cross-section, and B is a concavo-convex arm which projects from one end of the said bar at a right angle to its main portion. 0 is atubular pivot which is formed integral with the said bar and which prejects from it near the other end thereof from the said arm. D is an arm which is pivoted on the said pivot and which is provided with a curved plate E at its free end, which is arranged eccentric of the said pivot. The arms turn freely on the pivot, and the article to be held, such as a broomhandle 9, (indicated by dotted lines in the drawings,) is placed between the stationary arm and the curved plate. The weight of the object and of the pivoted arm holds the said object suspended. The bar A is secured to any fixed support, such as a wall or door, by means of screws h or other similar fastening devices, which engage with the said bar and secure it in position.

What I claim is 1. The combination, with a supporting bar channel-shaped in cross-section and provided at one end with a concavo-convex projection, of an arm pivoted to the other end portion of the said bar and provided with a plate at its free end which is arranged opposite the said projection.

2. The combination, with a stationary bar of thin sheet metal channel-shaped in crosssection and provided with an integrally formed tubular pivot at one end and a concave-convex projecting arm at its other end, of an arm pivoted on the said tubular pivot and provided with a curved eccentric plate at its free end.

In testimony whereof I have a'llixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH E. KENERSON.
